| This legislation extends the sunset provision for licensed professional counselors (LPC) to sign involuntary commitment papers for mental health patients (1013's). This legislation also allows LPC's to withdraw involuntary commitment orders. This legislation can potentially save counties money by moving mentally ill inmates out of jail and hospital emergencies rooms quicker and eliminating the need for law enforcement to spend hours waiting on physicans. |

| This legislation prohibits the state and local governments from taking any disciplinary action against a person/employee for believing, speaking or acting in accordance with a belief that marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman or that sexual relations are immoral outside of wedlock. Persons aggrieved by having these beliefs violated may go to court to obtain special damages, a declaratory judgment, or injunctive or other relief against the government. |
